Happy Mother's day to all of the CoSo mothers here. You know who you are. 😉

Hate this headline. It should read Jefferies defeats attempt to oust republican speaker.

Johnson defeats attempt to end his speakership

Timeline cleanser. I don't have enough to do so I planted some guara. Small shrub. Flowers late spring thru fall. Attracts bees and maybe butterflies. To the best of my knowledge not involved with Trump trials, 2024 elections or supreme court asshattery.

My sister listed her house last week. So far, zero showings and no offers. She came home today and the water heater is leaking out the bottom.

Her stress level is pretty high.

My dog is crazy for candy canes/peppermint sticks. When the wife is snacking on one the dog is right on her, wanting her share. Strange behavior?

I always enjoy seeing what Prof Tribe has to say about legal issues.

Everyone in America know Trumps game. Delay, delay, delay.

The SCOTUS is complicit in aiding him. They could have decided this in December. 4 months gone, a decision won't be out for another 2 months. Likely sent back to Chutkan for further analysis and an appeal of that decision. 🤬😡🤡

Trump lawyer and the media lamenting Justice Merchan not releasing all documents.
In likely the most covered case in recent memory some think more information should be released.

Safety of the jurors, witnesses, court personnel should take a backseat to the desires of the media for more clicks.

Has anyone calculated how many Scarsmucci's the Trump trial in NY is expected to last? 🤪

I saw my representative was not running for re-election so I dropped him a note. Kansas Republican

I saw a news release that you were not running for re-election. I agree that congress is very turbulent right now. Other than the foreign aide votes the speaker is about to bring to the floor I don't think much will happen the rest of the year. May as well resign soon and get on with the rest of your life which I am sure will be constructive and fruitful.

Cheers, Keith

Tree guy doing tree guy stuff. 70+ feet tall and split down the middle and wind gusts up to 25 mph.

The wind is starting to ease a little bit and should drop below 15 mph in two hours. I would have bet against it surviving 38 mph wind gusts.

This is my next door neighbors tree. The tree is over 70 feet tall. The part on the left will likely fall in my yard unless the tree hangs on until Saturday when it will be cut down. Today the wind will increase to 25 with gusts to 40 mph.

Falling down?
Will stand until Saturday?

We had clear sky for seeing the partial (here) eclipse. 87% according to NASA. Hope wherever you are you get to see this one or the next.

#trump bond of $175m to appeal the fraud case bounced. Several technical errors. They have a couple days remaining to correct. Clock is ticking until Leticia James starts claiming property or cash.

And just like that, NBC is cured of the Ronna.

Appeals court paused the penalty collection against Trump and gave 10 days to post $175M bond.

Received new phones today. Mostly setup mine. Will do the wife's tomorrow. Transfer went fairly well. I'm not a technophob but also not particularly good at it. Hopefully no more battery problems. Old phone lasted a little over 3 yrs. 🤪

WTF the House is getting ready to leave for ANOTHER 2 1/2 week break, I guess for Easter? It's no wonder they never get anything done.
